Skin Replenishment With Vitamins
August 6, 2008
On the receiving end of the best that life has to offer, people worldwide are living longer and healthier lives. This has led to a high demand for anti-ageing products to beat the ravages of time and look younger than one’s age. Talk to doctors, cosmetic surgeons, beauticians and they stress the importance of daily skin replenishment with vitamins and anti-oxidants. These are important as they help fight the effect of photo-ageing, ageing caused by exposure to sunlight.
As any doctor who knows his stuff will tell you, photo-ageing is a skin disease caused by a vitamin deficiency. Exposure to sunlight tends to destroy Vitamins A, E and C and beta carotene in the skin. Which is why, it is essential to treat photo-ageing and supply skin with what it has lost through exposure to UV light.
Every time we go out in the sun, essential light-sensitive vitamins are lost, thus causing the skin to age. We can counter this damage scientifically by replacing the vitamins we lose every single day, preferably both morning and evening.
Vitamin A is the key molecule that maintains safe, healthy skin and should be used by everyone to neutralise the accelerating damage of from a thinner ozone layer. Essential for healthy skin cells, exposure to UV light destroys Vitamin A. No matter what cosmetic creams you use, insufficient vitamin A in the skin means skin cells that are not healthy. Not only is sunlight responsible for causing a lower concentration of vitamin A in the skin, but prolonged exposure also lowers the blood levels of vitamin A.
As well, Vitamin C and E, powerful anti-oxidants crucial for protecting healthy skin cells, are also destroyed by exposure to UV light. In addition, Vitamin C is also essential for the production of collagen and reducing pigmentation blemishes, while vitamin E also helps preserve cell walls.
For many years now, topical vitamin A is being used in anti-ageing cosmetics as it makes the skin thicker, reduces pigmentation and smoothing it out. However, it is recommended that Vitamin A be combined with anti-oxidants for the most effective results. There are two significant rules to revolutionising skin care; firstly, every skincare regime should have Vitamins A, C, E and Beta carotene (a powerful anti-oxidant also called Vitamin A) included, at least once a day. Secondly, start vitamin replenishment soon after exposure to sunlight.
Skin should be protected, yet allowed to form natural Vitamin D by using low SPF products, augmented by a day cream that has been fortified by adding natural Vitamin A and anti-oxidants. These antioxidants will reduce the damage from UV light.
